The fresh produce is available to the public at a discounted price. And the purchase comes with a lesson from Clarence “Papa” Prevo about how the crops are grown.
Heavenly Gardens' corn field has rows of more than 11 feet high of corn stalks, featuring cobs of sweet corn and a variety called “peaches and cream.”Clarence “Papa” Prevo rises early to work 2 acres of fertile ground, just as he did on his family’s farm outside Selma, Ala.
Gingerly, he pulls robust fruit and vegetables that he grows not for show or prizes but for sustenance and good health. He produces more than 50 different types of crops. Corn. Bell peppers. Tomatoes. Mustard and collard greens. Okra. Potatoes. Kale. Bananas. Squash. Zucchini. Eggplants. Celery. Onions.READ MORE:Each day, the son of a sharecropper shares his knowledge of growing plants on land called Heavenly Gardens.
The fresh vegetables and fruit are available to the public at a discounted price. And the purchase comes with a lesson from Prevo about how the crops are grown.For two consecutive years, San Antonio residents have voted it Community Garden of the Year in a contest sponsored by Gardopia Gardens. “People come into your life for a reason, a season or for a lifetime,” Prevo said. “I think it’s divine intervention. People come and contribute to the growth in their way.”
Curiosity prompted a visit by a neighbor, C. J. Embry, who had seen the green space as she drove past the church. She was born and raised in Florida on a farm, so seeing the garden was like being home. Longtime volunteer and team member Natisha Loving, 35, said when she spreads produce on the table, her youngest daughter eats the vegetables for snacks. Her time in the green space is her prayer time.
